Crime in the U.S. 2011 • Tables: Fists vs. Rifles

Expanded Homicide Data Table 8 – Years 2007 to 2011

The FBI has released their 2007-2011 “Murder Victims by Weapon” report. The results are contradictory to anti-gun industry claims that relaxing the ban on assault weapons will cause more crime.

The report indicates you are more likely to be killed by hands or feet than by a rifle or shotgun.
Since 2007 there has been a 16.2% decline in murders committed with personal weapons which are defined as “hands, fists, feet etc.” The number of murders of this type in 2011 totaled 728.

Mr. President, it looks to me that we don't need more restrictions on guns to save one life you talked about this week.  It looks like we saved 1546 between 2007 and 2011.  We are doing just fine without your efforts.

Speak for yourself.

Yeah, I find it f....k amazing puzzling that someone who owns guns says that facts don't support gun ownership.
WTF?

no what i said was facts don't belong in gun debates.  Its not a logical argument(either side), its a emotional one.

I guess I don't target the emotional fanactic left. I target the people on the edges who do have the ability to understand facts. The media never points out facts like these because it doesn't support the narrative.

Still the argument on the whole, for or against, is not based on logic.  Side A says we need guns, side B says no you don't.   its very hard to make a logical argument with both sides say  " I feel this"    infact almost all of the "hottly" debated topics are emotional, rather then lgoic.

I was about to point out the fallacy of your argument, then realized with whom I was dealing.

We don't need to look or say, anything further. The naivete in your statement speaks for itself.
